Chapter three hundred and eighty fourth swordfish take off

Precisely guided bombs must be able to control, and this control is on the radio system, and the radio system is at the tail of the bomb.

A 7mm bullet whistled through the tail of the bomb.

Although ordinary bombs have a rudder surface at the tail, they are dead and cannot move. For the current fx2400 bombs, the rudder surface at the tail can move. It is through these rudder surfaces that control the flight trajectory of the bomb.

This rudder surface is lightweight aluminum alloy. After all, the rudder surface twisting needs to be controlled. This power comes from the rudder surface motor. After all, the power of the motor is limited. It is impossible to weld a piece of iron plate like an ordinary fixed rudder surface.

Now, the 7mm machine gun bullet easily passed through the rudder surface. Under the huge impact force, the entire rudder surface was directly taken away!

The loss of a rudder surface made the bomb's control difficult in an instant. At this time, it was already the last stage of its attack!

The routes are basically aligned, and even if they don’t rely on the rudder surface, it may have hit it. However, the lack of the rudder surface has made it lose its aerodynamic stability. So, in the surprised eyes of everyone, the bomb turned in an incredible way.

The Hood, with a two-and-a-half-ton bomb, passed by. When the bomb almost wiped the side of the Hood and fell into the water next to it, it splashed more than ten meters high!

"Boom!" A huge explosion came from underwater.

The Hood, a 40,000-ton warship, trembled involuntarily amid the explosion.

The hull was still injured! Even if it was an explosion in the water, the shock wave still hurt the Hood!

"Quick, carry out damage control immediately!" Captain Colonel Cole, riding a bicycle from the shore, was the fastest means of transportation he could find.

Not everyone lived on the boat, Colonel Cole, who slept on the shore, came in a hurry when the alarm sounded.

Rescue the Hood!

At this time, the bombers behind were still throwing bombs, and the entire port was still in a mess.

"The damn Germans actually fought undeclaredly and launched a sneak attack on us!"

"Buzz, buzz." A huge roar trembled under his crotch.

The Czech Republic stepped on his motorcycle, and at this moment, his eyes were extremely firm.

The ground airport of the Navy Aviation Corps is just two kilometers away from his residence, and now, he must arrive as soon as possible!

At the port, his warships were under terrible bombing, and he had to take off and face it!

There will definitely be so many German planes coming, and there will definitely be more behind them. Maybe the next moment, the other party will throw the bomb to the land airport!

Quick, hurry!

The motorcycle was speeding in the field. In order to rush, Jack did not even take the original cement road, but went directly to a small road.

This BSA M20 motorcycle has a much worse performance than that of German motorcycles. The reason why it was selected by the UK is that its production process is simple and easy to maintain. As for use, it is really not optimistic.

Now, jogging in the wild, although the two big springs on their butt were constantly cushioning, Jack's butt was still lifted up high.

Jack was still slamming the accelerator, and for him, time was the most precious.

Fast, be sure to be fast!

Generally speaking, the outside of the airport is blocked by wire, but now there is no threat, so the surrounding wire mesh has long been abandoned and many places have been dismantled. The officers and soldiers in the base also feel it is troublesome to go to the main road.

Jack's motorcycle aimed at a gap and quickly penetrated through it. He continued to twist the accelerator and headed towards the apron on the side of the runway.

Quick, hurry!

When he came over, he saw three or five people running towards the plane.

Since they were all resting, there were very few pilots left in the base, and everyone was happy outside. Now, in such a short time, they could actually run back a few people, which was enough to show the loyalty of the Royal Navy Air Force.

"Quick, hurry, hurry!" Jack shouted to his companions while riding a motorcycle. When he arrived next to the plane, he threw his motorcycle to the side and ran onto his plane a few steps.

From the current perspective, this is a completely outdated aircraft, and compared to the German aircraft, it is simply a toy.

Single wing, all-metal skin, high-power engines, and closed cockpits are already the measurement standards of advanced fighter jets in this era.

So, what about this swordfish attack aircraft? The old-fashioned biplane structure, poor military equipment, open cockpit, only 225 kilometers per hour, and the maximum ceiling of 3,260 meters makes it look not much different from the Master's plane during World War I.

As a carrier-based attack aircraft officially completed in 1935, it was one era behind the 97 ship attack adopted by the Japanese Navy two years later.

In 1933, Fairley Airways developed a three-seater torpedo attack/observation/reconnaissance aircraft, which took the first letter of the three words called the "tsr-i" type. This aircraft was developed according to technical standards issued by the Ministry of Aviation. The aircraft was made of a metal biplane structure with cloth and used a 635-horsepower Bristol "Tremen" iim air-cooled star engine.

After a failure, this aircraft was finally finalized and won the favor of the British Navy. It can be seen that the British Navy's concept, like their army, is quite backward.

In later generations, it was not until the appearance of the sea's fire that the British Navy finally recovered its disadvantage.

Of course, this is consistent with the situation at that time. After all, the German Navy at that time did not have a powerful aircraft carrier formation. The British Navy's mission was to attack the German naval formation, not air combat. Although the performance of the swordfish was very backward, it was still okay to throw a torpedo.

The Swordfish Attack Plane is a three-seater attack plane, including the driver, observer and correspondent and backseat gunner. Now, Jack has only one person, his observer and backseat gunner, and he doesn't know where he is.

There is no time, so you have to take off immediately!

Quickly pulling the switches, the new 750-horsepower Sagittarius 30 engine in front made a roar, black smoke ejected from the exhaust pipe, loosening the brakes, and Jack quickly slid on the runway.

Behind him, there are four swordfish attack aircraft, which are also activated in one go. They are about to take off and fight the enemy!

Almost at the same time, the southern sky of the base sounded a roar of the engine.

German bombers have arrived!
